More than 125 people visited our “house” at PCAMS last week, learning about the many ways CCTS sharpens clinical and translational science, finding new collaborators, and enjoying refreshments. Guests found plenty of new information at our usual tables: Research Commons, Training Academy, Clinical Translation, Community Engagement, Partner Network, and Special Modules (the “domains” of CCTS).

In addition, three new stations highlighting our latest initiatives (the Southeast Alliance for Research (SHARe), ClinicalTrials.gov registration and reporting support, and I-Corps-based training opportunities) piqued the interest of even our regular CCTS members. In case you missed it, we offer links to the most popular Open House resources below.

A drawing for give-aways, including the chance for a CCTS Research Voucher or Mini-Sabbatical, was also a hit. Congratulations to our winners, drawn by CCTS Director Dr. Robert Kimberly (see middle right). They are also listed below.

Attendees gave the event many positive remarks:

“This is a wonderful platform. I might need collaborators in the future if there are proteomics experts in CCTS.” [Editor’s note: There are! Contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.]

“This is great! I had no idea all this was going on.” [Editor’s note: Check our Events page for a comprehensive list of upcoming happenings!]

“If you’re new at UAB, you need to come see the CCTS.” [Editor’s note: We cordially invite all newcomers to visit us at PCAMS and also subscribe to the CCTS Digest so you will have all the latest clinical and translational news, events, trainings, and funding opportunities delivered to your inbox weekly.]

Thank you to all of our Open House attendees for helping make this a great event. If you missed it, please stay tuned, we will host another Open House later this year.
